He stated unequivocally that he is running a parallel campaign to the party adding that he is only rendering support and complimenting the party’s effort at his own senatorial district.
“Let me state here that I am not running a parallel campaign to rival the party but rather I am supporting and complimenting the effort of the party in my own senatorial district.
“We are not forming a parallel campaign committee against the party. Whatever directive issued by the party is what we are going to abide with.
“Very soon the party is going to form campaign committees in the wards, local governments and the state. Some of you would be part of the committee and you are expected to serve the party conscientiously, ” he said.
The senator however seized the opportunity to commend the leadership of the party particularly National Chairman, Adams Oshiomhole for a job well done during the recently held party primaries across the 36 states and the federal capital territory.

However, in order to effectively mobilisesupport for all APC candidates in the forthcoming general elections, Yayi has provided 28 branded buses for all the local council areas in the Lagos West senatorial district.
The buses were personally given to respective coordinators of each council area by the senator himself after the meeting.
